Video: Huge dust storm and rain batter Delhi-NCR; bring relief from heat

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the ongoing dust storm is likely to be followed by thunderstorms, lightning and light rainfall as moisture-laden winds interact with an unstable atmospheric system. The expected rain is likely to reduce dust levels and bring further relief from the prevailing heat.

Alerts were also issued for several districts in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Areas likely to be affected include Sonipat, Rohtak, Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri in Haryana; Bagpat, Khekra, Pilakhua and Sikandrabad in Uttar Pradesh; and Alwar, Bhiwadi, Tijara and Deeg in Rajasthan.
